  • A real human bean

    You give me a time and a place, I give you a five minute window. Anything happens in that five minutes and I’m yours. No matter what. Anything a minute on either side of that and you’re on your own. I don’t sit in while you’re running it down. I don’t carry a gun. I…

  • Planners Pointing

    Look, I’m the first to admit that an urban planning degree isn’t for everyone. But if you aspire to point at maps with this kind of authority, you better get started now on those applications kid.

  • Macs & Cats

    I like Macs and I like cats and this is reflected in my workspace.

  • The Best View

      My life would have been very different had I grown up closer to the Hayden Planetarium. I was obsessed with space and astronomy as a kid but only got to visit the Planetarium’s predecessor a handful of times growing up. Then and now, this is a magical place. (Hayden Planetarium, American Museum of Natural…

  • Welcome to Eugene

    It’s been a few months since my last post, so I’ve got a small backlog to work through. Here’s a shot from my visit to Eugene back in April. I was there to show A Picture of You at the DisOrient Film Festival. Despite being sick the entire time I was there, I had a…

  • Breakfast of Champions

    It’s so easy to say “eating Speculoos Cookie Butter straight from the jar for breakfast is bad”. But just try quitting.
